Well... Here we are . The first blog of the year and first blog here at Thoughtful Creations (openhandcreations.blogspot.com)!I am so excited about this new turn in my life. Until now I have focused all my work towards card making, especially featuring Stampin Up!. Today I will begin a new turn in my journey and focus on free art (which includes stamping - tons, but also everything else!) Don't get me wrong... I still love Stampin' Up. You can always check out my Stampin up sites (www.stampinwithallison.com & www.allisonlee.stampinup.net) whenever you want. there you will find tons of tutorials, class information, my past 1 1/2 yr blog archive, personal gallery and more! You can also purchase SU items thru me 24/7 and check out all related SU company and promo info! That doesn't change.

However, today, I am anxious to start this new chapter. One where I can feature all products and projects I love and concentrate on my 2009 year long service project. I will post more about that in the coming days. (if you can't wait... you can check out www.buildingdreams.etsy.com for some info!)

For today I have something I want to share. These are mushrooms I am making for an ATC swap online - ATCsforALL.com (not the one I am hosting... check out the links on the right to sign up for mine!) This is the first free hand drawing/painting swap I have ever participated in! I am nervous... but this is the year of new things, right?!Anyway. I don't want to make this post too long. I just wanted to say Hi and welcome you to my new blog. Hope you had a wonderful New Years Eve and Day! Thank you for visiting me today.

about me

Every day my style seems to evolve. Here I can share all my projects and ideas as well as my thoughts on art, family and charity. I believe that we can make a difference in someone's life with the simple act of giving.
